Make Disability Count in Queensland - inclusion, rights and access
An inclusive Queensland is important for all Queenslanders. That why thirty-four (34) disability organisations are coming together as the Queensland Disability Alliance to host the ‘Queensland State Election 2024 Disability Online Forum’.
As a disability alliance we want to make sure disability is front and centre at this 2024 state election.
1 in 5 Queenslanders live with a disability. Collectively, our organisations represent the breadth of the Queensland disability, advocacy, health, mental health, education and community services sectors. We represent people with disability, their families and carers and we share a common goal: building a more inclusive Queensland where everyone thrives.
The disability and community services sector isn’t just vital for people with disability; it's one of the fastest-growing sectors in Australia, driving significant contributions not only to the disability community but to the broader economy as well.
We acknowledge and address the needs and supports for the diversity of the disability community, including First Nations people with disability, people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds, those living in regional and remote areas, women, LGBTIQA+ individuals, and children and young people with disability.
